THE NEED
Extended waiting times for patients with potential heart rhythm disorders burden the healthcare system and cause unnecessary distress—often in cases where no further treatment is needed. As up to half of referrals show normal findings, early assessment is needed to identify who truly requires specialist care, improving reassurance, accelerating diagnosis, and ensuring specialist expertise and tools are used where most needed.
THE SOLUTION
Virtual Heart Clinic enables patients to send health data from their wearable devices directly to a cardiologist. This allows for faster triage, provides reassurance to the patient, reduces pressure on general practitioners and emergency departments, and ensures more efficient use of specialist expertise.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Virtual Heart Clinic allows patients to share data from wearables directly with cardiologists, enabling faster diagnosis and treatment. It streamlines care, reduces delays in care, and helps the healthcare system allocate resources more effectively.
CLINICAL IMPACT
Virtual Heart Clinic helps ensure that patients receive faster diagnosis and timely treatment when needed. At the same time, patients without serious findings avoid unnecessary diagnostic processes and the stress that often comes with them – benefiting both individual well-being and the healthcare system. Additionally, the solution frees up valuable healthcare resources that can be redirected to areas with greater need.
